It is disheartening that Omar is the only member of the Minnesota Congressional delegation supporting Biden

and.. I suppose, Emmer and the R gang too.. as an “easy” target

Klobuchar and Smith have not expressed their opinions, as far as I know

Klobuchar was one of the first to endorse Biden in 2020; I hope she hasn't gone wobbly. Maybe they need to hear from us.

I should write to Senators Smith and Klobuchar to thank them for not doing what McCollum has done.

Or Hollywood A-listers like George Clooney. Or Nancy Pelosi. Or Chuck Schumer. Or nearly 2/3 of Democratic voters.
All Biden needs is Omar, AOC, and the die-hards at DU to win this Nov.
And all of the deceptively edited videos about Biden being senile that came from Fox and Sinclair news (that suddenly stopped because they're praying that Biden stays in the race), they're going to forget all about this if Biden does stay in the race.
Who cares that Biden is 7 points behind in Michigan today? He should just stick it out and ignore the leadership of the Democratic party. Who needs big money donors?

many of whom either ran against him or didn't support him for the nomination 4 years ago.

(Omar, Bernie, Elizabeth Warren to name a few.)
